Blog: Advice

I believe Baruch College should be more active on Youtube. Currently the Baruch Youtube page is very inactive. I believe there's a lot that the school offers that can be showcased via videos. For example, Baruch can have a video explaining all of the different minors that the school offers. In addition this can be done for Majors and why Baruch is so special. Most of the videos that are up on the official Baruch Youtube Page are very outdated. Some of them are 6-8 years old. In addition, Youtube is a great platform to attract young prospects. As more and more people use new media, the more people will seek for answers on it and videos are a great way to take advantage of this. Likewise videos on Youtube are also a great way for Baruch to display the culture it promotes.

Blog: Next New

I believe the next new media will be a US government regulated digital currency. This does not currently exist. It will be something similar to Bitcoin. Bitcoin surpassing $10,000 shows that digital currency is in demand. Japan as a nation is already very accepting of digital currency. Japan is home to bitFlyer which is the world's largest market exchange for Bitcoin. Digital currency lowers transaction costs and makes payments at any time very appealing. Paper based currency as well as physical coins are being used less and less every year. According to creditcard.com,  " In a 2016 survey, payment processor TSYS asked over 1,000 consumers which payment form they prefer. Forty percent chose credit cards, while 35 percent selected debit cards, and only 11 percent specified a preference for using cash."

The Future of Old Media by Shagor Noor

For my research topic I would like to discuss the future of old media. I decided to choose this topic because I am very interested in how "old media" will try and survive. I would like to interview some professors that teach courses in information studies and get their opinions on old media. I will also do research by using scholarly articles from Baruch's database that discuss how old media is evolving. From my understanding, some old media companies such as newspaper organizations are trying to develop a hybrid system of new media and old media for consumers of all ages to enjoy.

Blog about Twitter

I found the twitter discussion surprisingly to be a fun activity. Since the characters are limited, things are more concise compared to BlackBoard. In addition, it is easier to reply and comment on Twitter. Likewise a great feature that Twitter has but BlackBoard doesn't is the like feature. Through this button, students are able to easily recognize when their peers agree with what they have to say without going through a long process. It is also easier to view comments via hashtags whereas on BlackBoard you would have to click on each individual to see what they wrote. However, I believe in-class discussions overall are be much better than Twitter discussions because face to face conversations are more meaningful. Through in class discussions you get to experience the tone and the gesture of the student. This is something you cannot tell from online sources.
